Will NEET 2022 exam happen twice?
The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health discussed last year whether to conduct the NEET exam twice a year. However, no final decision has been made yet.
NEET aspirants have increased demand to conduct the medical entrance exam twice a year to give students an extra chance. The demand to conduct NEET twice a year got stronger after several suicides of medical aspirants due to performance pressure.
